ITB 2026 Recap: Turn Real Hotel Data into Unreal Performance
Michael Grove will analyze the gap between hotel revenue growth and profit margins using global data, sharing strategies to optimize both metrics.
Revenue growth is one thing — but combining it with a profit view is something else altogether. The reality is that a booming top line can mask a narrowing bottom
line, and achieving unreal performance at your hotel requires looking closely at both sets of numbers.
Join Michael Grove, CEO of HotStats at Duetto, as he analyzes the gap between the top and bottom line, evaluating hotel data from Europe and across the globe. Michael will unpack the key trends driving this divide, pinpoint exactly where to focus your attention, and share expert suggestions on the best way forward. You’ll walk away with the insights you need to strategize more effectively and protect your profit.
